The Words of the Lord as presented by Ezekiel foreshadow His ultimate crown jewel, a perfect church, the bride of Christ. He will clothe them with clothing of fine needlework. It is very apparent that the Lord considered the tabernacle to be His evidence of love and of His presence with them. The tapestry used as the door to the tabernacle has a distinct message. For one thing, it is the door, a type of the Lord Jesus who is the true door of salvation and eternal life. John 10:7 The only possible entrance into the kingdom of heaven. So strongly is this enforced that Jesus said any trying to enter some other way were thieves and robbers. John 10:1.
The colors, the material and the embroidery work used to create the door are five. Ex. 26:36 The number of atonement. The blue is the color of the Holy Spirit. The purple, royalty and the scarlet atonement by blood. This gives us a sense of understanding of the greatness of the door. The material was of the finest of twined linen representing the purity and holiness of the Lord.
The gold thread which was used in the embroider work was fine gold wire.
Ex. 39:3 This gold wire had already been through the refining process and was of the purest sort. Now, it is beaten into thin sheets and cut into strips that it might be utilized as thread. All of which are a shadow of the sufferings of Christ, of which we have been invited to participate.
Rom. 8:17 There is a definite refining process through which the Lord will lead His very own. The gold was used on the curtains of the tabernacle and embroidered into them were cherubim making them to be a type of the Godhead, whose presence was manifest in the Most Holy Place.
Like the Queen mentioned in the forty fifth Psalm, The Bride of Christ will be brought to Him in clothing decorated with fine needle work embroidered in it. Ps. 45:14 Her consecration is complete. She is fully dedicated to the love of her life, the Lord Jesus. In a time when commitment is a lost cause, she is more than willing to leave all and fully follow the Lord Jesus.
Ps. 45:10 She is glorious within and without. Clothed with the finest of glittering, golden light. Ps. 45:13 What more grand and glorious wedding gown could she wear than the sun. Rev. 12:1 Which is due to, and in response of her deep and full love for Him. He will respond to her beauty of soul and spirit. Ps. 45:11 He is captivated by her spirit and beauty. It is a great and grand true story of true love, which will culminate in the marriage of the ages. A perfect, eternal marriage between the Lord Jesus and His redeemed. He is worthy to be worshipped. Praise ye the Lord.
